Kill time online with The Eagle

Social media is an important part of most students lives. It is also important for organizations and busineses to use social media to reach a large and broad audience. For a student organization such as The Eagle we are using social media to enhance our student run newspaper in a time where social media is outpacing print newspapers. 

As our social media director, I want to enlighten students on what goes on behind the scenes of our weekly newspaper while also working with our editors to connect with you so that we can help ensure that your voice is heard. 

My name is Madyson Schliep, and I am the Digital Content Director for The Eagle. I am in my 3rd year here at Chadron State College, majoring in sports and recreation with an emphasis in exercise science. I am also a student athlete on the track and field team here. I compete in throwing events. 

Becoming the digital content director for The Eagle gave me an excuse, like many in our generation to kill time on social media. 

Well, that’s my excuse what’s yours? 

Developing content across three platforms presents numerous challenges. Keeping content fresh and relatable requires imagination, and understanding of our audience (which is you guys), and a discipline to write this column and others with thoughtful foresight so that I don’t put myself under the strain of a nagging deadline which, I face now. 

I currently have a crotchety adviser helping (nagging) me to finish in the next fifteen minutes so that I can be at the phonathon on time. 

Oddly his help is working, and much to my surprise he’s earning his keep today. 

As a column writer, spotlighting The Eagle’s social media platforms allows for free self-promotion. It’s fun. It’s pressure. It’s fun. It’s challenging. It’s fun. It’s distracting to our other editors as were working on deadline. It’s fun. 

But don’t take my word for it, check out the insanity. 

To heck with joining the conversation, join our madness by following us on Instagram, and Tiktok @thecsceagle and on twitter @csceagle. 

Oh and by the way, I am done seven minutes before the phonathon starts, just enough time to walk through the snow on my way there.
